I sense more rose tinted glasses from people that think they launched the 360 because they where afraid of Sony. Again they had to lauch the console when they did because they couldn't make any more new orginial X-Box's since they didn't have any more GPU's after "August of 2005" and trust me the relatioship between Nvidia and Microsoft went sour years before that so they screwed them over since they had to find a new developer for the GPU of the 360 and they basically killed the original X-Box. Also month without any new consoles to sell would have hurt Microsoft a lot more then the RROD did. That pretty much what killed Atari because they couldn't figure out what to do after the 2600 (releasing tons of bad games for it also didn't help). The 5200 should have never been released and the 7800 lauched too late. And by the time they tried to come back with the Jaguar nobody cared. |
If Microsoft is so omnipotent and unscared of Sony, why did they _need_ to have xboxes being shipped to consumers at all times, when only six years prior they weren't even in the console business.
None of this makes any sense.
